A few addresses to keep.

Central Market food stalls

Central Market

A first stop for dholl puri, samosas or an alouda. Choose on the day and ask the vendor about ingredients before ordering.

Grand Canton

47 Queen Street

A seated Cantonese meal near Chinatown. The restaurant lists meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. Check the current menu and reserve directly.

Namaste

Caudan Waterfront

A restaurant listed in Caudan’s dining directory. A convenient option when you want a seated meal without leaving the waterfront.

Taste of Asia

L’Observatoire food court

One of the named counters in Caudan’s food court. Useful for a flexible lunch when your group wants different things.

Tikka Massala

Caudan food court

Another counter listed by Caudan, in its Indian-food selection. Check what is being served and the displayed prices on the day.

Pick the kind of lunch you want

The market suits a small, informal food stop. A restaurant gives your group time to sit together, while a food court lets everyone choose separately. These are documented addresses, not a ranking or a promise about what you will find on the day.

Ask before ordering

Confirm ingredients, portion size and price with the person serving you. Boulettes, sauces and broths can contain different meats, seafood or allergens. Tell the venue about dietary needs directly and do not assume that the same dish is prepared identically everywhere.

Keep your plan flexible

Check restaurant opening times and reservations directly. The waterfront, market and Chinatown have different rhythms, especially on Sundays and holidays. If your chosen table is closed, the food directories linked above help you find another option without crossing the whole city.
